Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the information included in YouTubeTM videos regarding Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis (PHGS).
Material and Method: The term PHGS were typed into the search bar on YouTubeTM (www.YouTube.com), and the first 300 videos were scanned. Global Quality Score (GQS) and Reliability Score (a modified DISCERN tool), two social media video content evaluation methods, were used to assess the reliability and quality of the included videos. Each video's usefulness rating, source, duration, number of views, and likes were also recorded. The interaction index and viewing rates of videos were calculated.
Results: 69% of the videos were very useful, and the GQS scores were good (48.3%) and excellent (17.2 %) mostly. The popularity and visibility data of videos were not correlated with the video usefulness score, GQS, and DISCERN (p>0.05). Total DISCERN scores and GQS were corelated with usefulness scores of the videos (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Although the number of videos on YouTubeTM on PHGS is insufficient, their quality and reliability are high, regardless of the number of views, duration and likes.

Primer Herpetik Gingivostomatit ile ilgili YouTube videolarının güvenilirliğinin değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Primer Herpetik Gingivostomatitis (PHGS) ile ilgili YouTubeTM videolarında yer alan bilgilerin doğruluğunu ve güvenilirliğini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: YouTubeTM (www.YouTube.com) arama çubuğuna PHGS terimi yazıldı ve ilk 300 video tarandı. Dahil edilen videoların güvenilirliğini ve kalitesini değerlendirmek için iki sosyal medya video içeriği değerlendirme yöntemi olan Küresel Kalite Puanı (GQS) ve Güvenilirlik Puanı (modifiye DISCERN) kullanıldı. Her videonun yararlılık derecesi, kaynağı, süresi, izlenme sayısı ve beğenileri de kaydedildi. Videoların etkileşim endeksi ve izlenme oranları hesaplandı.
Bulgular: Videoların %69'u çok kullanışlıydı ve GQS puanları çoğunlukla iyi (%48,3) ve mükemmel (%17,2) idi. Videoların popülerlik ve görünürlük verileri video kullanışlılık puanı, GQS ve DISCERN ile ilişkili değildi (p>0.05). Toplam DISCERN puanları ve GQS, videoların kullanışlılık puanları ile korelasyon göstermiştir (p<0,05).
Sonuç: PHGS konusunda YouTube'daki videoların sayısı yetersiz olmakla birlikte izlenme sayısı, süresi ve beğenisinden bağımsız olarak kalite ve güvenirliliği yüksektir.
